Abstract: The two label tapes are spliced together using a laminated adhesive tape. A new label tape (7) is moved with its front end into a stationary waiting position, until at least one label has been removed at its front. The old label tape (4), which is almost used-up, is loosened off the winding core, is fixed to the adhesive layer of the adhesive tape in a rated breaking point, and is moved past the front end of the new tape, so that an adhesive overlapping connection is formed. The adhesive connection is originated by using a component having a relay effect, which has a signal receiver. This reacts to a variation in or more of the characteristics of the label tape passing through it.

Abstract: A temperature regulating system for a cyclic processor (10), for example an injection moulding machine, the machine having a mould with an internal passageway (17) for receiving temperature regulating fluid such as a coolant. The invention teaches intermittent flow of the temperature regulating fluid, the flow being permitted during certain parts only of the processing cycle, so that for example coolant cannot flow whilst hot melt material is being injected. The systems includes temperature control means (14) and cycle response means, characterised in that the cycle response means initiates operation of the temperature control means at a predetermined stage in a cycle. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A controlled environment gassing system is provided for removing the existing environment from containers (12). The existing environment may be purged by passing the containers along a gas distribution manifold (22) disposed parallel to the direction of travel (16) of the containers. The manifold includes at least one region (26, 28, 30) of flow resistance disposed parallel to the direction of travel, and the manifold may have a width less than the width of the container and/or screen openings (40) sized to provide a laminarized flow, for supplying a controlled environment gas flushing stream continuously and at substantially steady state to the containers. As the containers pass along the manifold, the controlled environment flushing gas creates an optimal flow pattern which consistently and steadily removes the existing environment from the containers while preventing the flushing gas from drawing in air. Return gas chambers (83, 84) are provided to retrieve the gasses exiting the container as they are purged. Sidewalls (240) may be provided along longitudinal sides of the chamber to increase system efficiency. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The information coherence detector operates with a memory circuit (14) having an element (15) comprising a capacitance (16) whose first terminal is connected to a logical voltage (Vss) and whose second terminal is connected to a node (X0) within a looping circuit having inverters (17,18) in series. The detector comprises an indicator circuit containing complementary information, and a circuit monitoring the complementarity of the information in order to detect and perturbation phenomena causing incoherence in the information. The indicator circuit includes at least two elements of this type (19,20), the complementarity is determined by placing a load transistor between the node in the looping circuit and a first or second logical voltage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for reducing RNA concentration in a mixture of biological material, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a mixture of biological material having a first concentration of RNA; (b) filtering the mixture through a diatomaceous earth material to produce a filtrate having a second concentration of RNA, wherein the second concentration is less than the first concentration; and (c) collecting the filtrate having a reduced RNA concentration. In one aspect, the diatomaceous earth material serves to purify recombinant plasmid DNA from an RNA component in a mixture of biological material, and in another aspect, it serves to separate different forms of soluble RNA in a mixture of biological material.

Abstract: A housing for a gas valve or the like, said housing comprising a first housing portion, which is connected to a second housing portion with the interposition of a flexible sealing element, whereby each housing portion is provided with a substantially circular contact surface, against which the sealing element abuts. The sealing element and/or either one or both contact surfaces are shaped in such a manner that only part of a contact surface is in contact with a part of the surface of the sealing element at the location of the contact surfaces. The two housing portions are kept a predetermined distance apart by connecting means, so that there will only be local deformation in the part of the sealing element that is located between the contact surfaces. The sealing element is provided with at least one annular rib, which abuts against a contact surface with part of its surface. The rib may taper off from the surface of the sealing element and be oriented towards the central axis of the ring, seen in cross-sectional view.

Abstract: A method of electrically connecting an integrated circuit (IC (14)) to at least one electrical conductor on a flexible dielectric substrate (26) having an IC attachment area (36) and at least one resonant circuit formed thereon. The resonant circuit is formed with two conductive patterns disposed on two opposite principal surfaces of the flexible substrate (26). The conductive patterns are electrically connected to each other to form an inductor (22) and a capacitor, with the inductor (22) also functioning as an antenna. The IC attachment area (36) of the flexible substrate (26) is cleaned and the latter is secured in a fixed position in a plenum to prevent substantial movement thereof. The IC (14) is secured to the IC attachment area (36). Wire bonding of the IC (14) to at least one electrical conductor (38, 40, 42) of the resonant circuit is performed. A protective covering is applied over the IC (14) and the wire bond to protect the wire bond from being damaged by external forces. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An optical amplifier comprises an active fibre (1), a pump unit (2) spaced from the active fibre and adapted to give a nominal, continuous pump power in an operational state, and a pump fibre (3) adapted to transfer optical pump power from the pump unit (2) to the active fibre (1). Moreover, in a safety state, the pump unit (2) is adapted to give a pulsed pump power whose mean power is lower than a prescribed safety limit. A method of preventing emission of optical power exceeding a prescribed safety limit on interruption of an optical fibre (3) which transfers pump power from a pump unit (2) to an active fibre (1), comprises changing the mean power of the pump power in response to a signal received from the active fibre (1) so that the mean power assumes a value below said safety limit if said signal is not received, and assumes a nominal value if said signal is received.

Abstract: A modular seal assembly for sealing a circular opening through a wall, usually with one or more conduits (i.e., telecommunication cables) extending through the seal. The assembly includes an outer pressure annulus and a thick inner pressure disc, both of natural or synthetic rubber, EPDM, urethane, or other elastomer. In the outer annulus the elastomer is an annular series of interconnected blocks of length L1 having a central opening of radius R2; a series of pressure bolts compress the blocks axially, expanding the annulus both outwardly and inwardly. The inner disc, which has an outer radius of about R2 and is interlocked with the elastomer blocks of the outer annulus, has a multiplicity of circular layers, much like an onion; the layers are concentric about an opening through which a conduit usually extends. Tightening the pressure bolts causes the outer annulus to compress the disc, forcing the disc against the conduit to complete a seal; the elastomer blocks of the outer annulus seal against the wall opening.
